The Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC) allows palliative care nurses to more effectively evaluate the quality of care being provided to patients. The PCOC was established in 2005 under the National Palliative Care Program and is supported by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. The collaboration includes the University of Wollongong, the University of Western Australia Flinders University and Queensland University of Technology, with associated quality improvement facilitators to assist services with PCOC.
